USING THE #LOCAL4TODAY. Rhonda: THEY SAY THERE'S NO GREATER LOVE THAN A MOTHER'S LOVE, WHICH IS WHY MOTHER'S DAY DAY, OF COURSE, IS SO IMPORTANT TO SALUTE OUR MOMS. IT'S A DAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE PERSON WHO IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU, AND FLOWERS ARE ALWAYS A VERY GOOD CHOICE. Evrod: WHY NOT GIVE THEM A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. HOW YOU CAN WIN THIS BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. AND IT'S A TRADITIONAL GIFT THAT CAN COST YOU BIG BUCKS. GREETING CARDS ASIDE, FLOWERS ARE THE MOST POPULAR GIFT FOR MOTHER'S DAY, WITH SPENDING TOTALING $2.3 BILLION. FANCY ARRANGEMENTS COULD COST UPWARDS OF $100 AND THEN ADD IN SERVICE AND DELIVERY FEES. SAVE SOME CASH BY CONSIDERING THE VERY METHOD THAT MOM GETS THAT ARRANGEMENT. IS A LOCAL FLORIST DELIVERING THE FLOWERS OR ARE THEY SHIPPED DIRECTLY FROM THE GROWER. BOXED FLOWERS COST ABOUT HALF BUT MOM HAS TO DO THE ARRANGING. AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO STICK TO A SINGLE BLOOM LIKE TULIPS. AND LOOK FOR SPECIALS. LOCAL FLORISTS HAVE THEIR OWN DEALS. SAVE 25% BY ORDERING AT LEAST A FEW DAYS AHEAD OF DELIVERY OR BY PICKING A PARTICULAR BOUQUET AND BE SURE TO BUDGET FOR FEES. SOME OUTLETS CAN CHARGE UP TO $20 FOR PROCESSING THE ORDER AND HAVING IT SHIPPED OR DELIVERED. BECAUSE MOTHER'S DAY IS A HOLIDAY AND A SUNDAY, EXPECT AN EXTRA $2 SURCHARGE FOR DAY OF DELIVERY. IF YOU'RE SEEING MOM, OPT FOR FREE PICKUP, OTHERWISE, CONTACT A FLORIST NEAR HER. AND THERE'S USUALLY A SUBSTITUTION CLAUSE THAT LETS THEM SUBSTITUTE WHEN SOME ARE OUT OF STOCK. SO PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE LOCAL FLORIST DIRECTLY. Rhonda: AND LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS ARRANGEMENTS. THE FLOWERS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN BY DAMIEN DUFF, AND THEY'LL BE REOPENING THE LOCATION ON WOODWARD AVENUE AFTER THE FORMER LOCATION WAS DESTROYED BY FIRE. I ALWAYS CALL THEM WHEN I NEED FLOWERS. THEY'RE GIVING AWAY THIS ARRANGEMENTS, A $100 VALUE. Evrod: HEAD TO THE LOCAL 4 FACEBOOK PAGE AND TELL US WHAT MAKES MOM SO GREAT AND THERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN. YOU HAVE TO PICK IT UP TODAY. Rhonda: SO THAT THEY'LL BE NICE AND FRESH AND SHE CAN ENJOY THEM ALL WEEKEND. WE WANT TO THANK BYRON'S FLOWERS. SO IF YOU WANT TO PICK SOMETHING UP, LIKE THE PLANTS, THEY'LL LAST FAR LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE FLOWER. GOOD DEAL, AND THANKS TO BYRON FLOWERS FOR BRINGING ALL THESE. Brandon: AND NOT LIKE IT SMELLS BAD IN HERE, IT SMELLS REALLY GOOD IN HERE. [LAUGHTER] Rhonda: NOT LIKE THE NORMAL SCENT, HUH, BRANDON? [LAUGHTER] Brandon: IT DEPENDS ON THE DAY. Ashlee: BRANDON I HAVE TREES AROUND MY HOME FLOWERING. Rhonda: MY MAGNOLIA TREE IS FLOWERING AS WE SPEAK. Ashlee: THERE'S ONE THAT SMELLS LIKE FISH. Rhonda: REALLY? Ashlee: IF YOU'RE A VIEWER AND YOU HAVE ONE OF THE WHITE FLOWERING TREES, IT'S ONE OF -- I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO IT.
